      <abstract>The karstic Edwards and Trinity aquifers are classified as major sources of water in south-central Texas by the Texas Water Development Board, and both are classified as major aquifers by the State of Texas. The Edwards and Trinity aquifers developed because of the original depositional history of the carbonate limestone and dolomite rocks that contain them, and the primary and secondary porosity, diagenesis, fracturing, and faulting that modified the porosity, permeability, and transmissivity of each aquifer and of the geologic units separating the aquifers. Previous studies such as those by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA) have mapped the geology, hydrostratigraphy, and structure in these areas at various scales. The purpose of this data release is to present the data that were collected and compiled to describe the geologic framework and hydrostratigraphy within Hays County, Texas in order to help water managers, water purveyors, and local residents better understand and manage water resources. The scope of the larger work and this accompanying data release is focused on the geologic framework and hydrostratigraphy of the outcrops and hydrostratigraphy of the rocks that contain the Edwards and Trinity aquifers within Hays County, Texas. These digital data are a revision to a previous publication of the geologic framework and hydrostratigraphy of the Edwards and Trinity aquifers that was completed in 2018 within Hays County, Texas. These digital data accompany USGS Scientific Investigations Map 3540 (Clark and others, 2025), which supersedes USGS Scientific Investigations Map 3418.</abstract>
      <purpose>These data are intended to illustrate the geographical extent of the surficial hydrostratigraphic units and faulting within the 560 square mile study area in Hays County, Tex. These digital data accompany Clark and others (2025).</purpose>

      <attraccr>Data were collected in the field with the use of geolocation enabled devices. While in the field, mapping attributes were tagged to waypoints (specific latitudes and longitudes and other reference points). Authors have reviewed the attributes for accuracy and completeness through visual inspection in a geospatial information system (GIS). Newly mapped data and their associated attributes were compared against previously published mapping reports.</attraccr>
    </attracc>
    <logic>Map elements were visually checked for errors during the use of GIS software, including overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, and other errors. ArcGIS software was used to create topological relationships among features. Features were not duplicated, but coincident lines may exist between data layers where appropriate.</logic>
    <complete>Newly mapped hydrostratigraphic units were field mapped and digitized for display at a 1:24,000 scale. Data are complete; no features were eliminated or generalized. The hydrostratigraphic map unit properties are described in the companion Scientific Investigations Map 3540.</complete>

If the report had an associated digital dataset that was in or around the study boundary, the data were brought into a Geographical Information System (GIS) and plotted against digital U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps for review and analysis (USGS, 2024). Data that plotted along the borders of the study boundary were used to help guide the edge-matching process against newly collected mapping data from the field.</procdesc>

Waypoints with field identified descriptors were transferred to a map unit labeling point feature class.
